Bassist from legendary Serbian prog/hard rock/fusion group Smak shares his name with former and perhaps future Croatian prime minister (Zoran Milanović).
Also, there are multiple Davids Crosses, and others I am aware of/can currently think of are already mentioned..

I was just going to mention that, but obviously you beat me to it. In fact, I just bought Carmen's first LP like two weeks ago at this guy's booth and it was brand new. I was looking on the back and saw David Allen, and I was like, 'this can't be the same guy from gong it doesn't look like him but idk' lol. |

I always used to get really confused by mixing up Tony Kaye, Peter Banks and Tony Banks. I wonder if there are any prog musicians named Peter Kaye?

I got all excited when I saw Jon McLaughlin was coming to a local theater, but when I clicked on the advert to buy tickets, I was taken to a photo of a haircut......didn't notice the missing "h" in the first name.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

There are two keyboard players named Peter Robinson; one famous for his involvement in Quatermass and Brand X, to name a few, and another Peter Robinson who was keyboard player for US fusion band Contraband.
On the liner notes to the original CD issue of Quatermass, they make the mistake of including Contraband in the discography of Quatermass's Peter Robinson, but it is a different person. |
